The bronze and stainless steel sculpture depicts in a pose from “The Seven Year Itch” with Tom Ewell. The sculpture is next to the Tribune Tower and is managed by www.sculpturefoundation.org.

Chicago’s “Forever Marilyn” sculpture depicts one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. Marilyn’s is standing on a subway grate as her white dress is blown above her knees by a passing train. It’s humorous and interesting to see that most people in my Windy City want to look under her dress when getting their picture taken.
